The Prodigy will play new songs at Download Festival

The Prodigy are set to perform new song during their recently announced headline performance at Download Festival. They will headline the first night of the festival - June 8.

Singer of the band Keith Flint has announced this news. Flint has also confirmed that the band is in the studio working on new, yet untitled, album.

Metallica and freshly reunited Black Sabbath will headline other two nights of the festival. Sadly, Download appearance will be Prodigy's only performance of 2012.

Flint said:

"We are definitely going to bring the party and make sure it rocks. It's the only festival appearance we are doing in 2012, so we're going to make sure it's really special. We're also going to be dropping some of the new stuff that we have been doing in the studio. It's going to be fucking ferocious."
